This is your last chance to register your involvement in Dr Jay McTighe's Curriculum Planning for Understanding Institute.

Dr Jay McTighe
is the architect of the “backward design” model of curriculum planning. His work places student understanding at the heart of instructional and assessment practices. Bring the National Curriculum to life through learning how to apply Understanding by Design to your curriculum approach.

In this two-day institute Dr Jay McTighe will explore ‘backward by design’, to
support teaching for understanding through a series of thought-provoking
exercises and design experiences. Since understanding is enhanced through
application, participants will use the tools and templates of Understanding by
Design to create or refine a unit of study.

Curriculum Planning for Understanding (CPU) is based on the theory of
Understanding by Design and designed by Dr Jay McTighe specifically to meet the
needs of Australian and New Zealand schools and organisations.
